Sergei Lavrov is going to Pyongyang to reinvigorate talks

Russia has sent Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov to North Korea for a 2 day visit in an attempt to re-stimulate North Korea to return to international disarmament talks, which NK pulled out of not so long ago.

North Korea has recently threw out UN monitors and has said that it will work hard to improve its nuclear deterrent at whatever costs and that it’d never return to talks, according to KCNA.

Sergei Lavrov is expected to hand over a letter from Russian President Dmitri Medvedev to the North Korean leader.
